Along with Harris, speakers at the event included Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore, JB Pritzker, Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly, and Ro Khanna, all seen as possible 2028 candidates. Harris has not clearly stated whether she will run or stay out after her 2024 electoral setback.

Some view Harris as likely to be a central figure and well received by many, though it remains to be seen how broad her support would be.

Clay Middleton, a DNC member, said no one will retire the field, and competition will remain intense.
